Steeper and Deeper
TR100 perfectly suited for mines and quarries
As the official distributor of Terex Trucks, we are able to lead the distribution of rigid and articulated haulers in the southern African market. Terex Trucks are suitable for heavy construction, quarry and open cast mining applications. The machines are well known for their robust, durable design, competitive pricing, and efficient operation.
Erik Lundberg (Regional Business Manager for Terex Trucks in southern Africa) says that one of the main advantages of Terex Trucks over other products in the same category is the aftersales support provided by Babcock. Our new Middelburg branch ensures immediate access to parts, availability of qualified service technicians and appropriate maintenance facilities.
The branch already has an opening stock order for 13 trucks from the Terex range - six TR100 rigid dump trucks, three TR60 rigid dump trucks and four TA300 articulated dump trucks. The TR100 is traditionally the preferred option for hard rock applications in areas such as Rustenburg and the Northern Cape, while the TR60 has traditionally seen more use in the coal mining regions of Mpumalanga.
The TR100 operates in the steepest, deepest mines and largest quarries around the world. It weighs 68 tonnes, has a 91 metric tonne load capacity, and a 38-litre Cummins diesel motor (one of the best, most reliable engines on the market). The hardy, uncomplicated truck design makes repairs and maintenance in extreme or remote locations, a relatively easy endeavour. The drivetrain of both the TR100 and TR60 provide excellent tractive effort and class leading rimpull on steep inclines, ensuring best power delivery and competitive fuel economy.
Terex Trucks rigid dump trucks offer transmission retardation as a standard feature as opposed to traditional brake retarders, resulting in excellent driving control, shorter cycle times, lower operating costs and an extension of the life of the machines’ primary braking system.
